Oh no. I had no idea. Tis sad

[@Ilikecatsismychannelname]

RIP.

[@willku9000]

Stephen Lynch is the Embodiment of a Bard. Also I used to think this song was a lot meaner than it is, and then I watched a few D&D youtubers and watched Stranger Things and The Legend of Vox Machina… now I realize this song is entirely accurate to people who play D&D and is likely self-deprecating humor like many Tabletop Gamers are known for.

We like to lampoon ourselves, yes.

@max.Mayfield947 don’t remember. It’s been a while

"Summoning the demons of hell" feels like a jab at the satanic panic around D&D in the 80's

[@ForestFairy]

Because it is. XD

[@Ilikecatsismychannelname]

It absolutely is and it was a panic brought to you by the same people who thought of Pokemon as satanic in the 90s. Because of course.

[@NeurospicyBitch88]

That panic briefly came back into the mainstream this past summer thanks to a little hit show on Netflix called Stranger Things (something that was made to cash in on the 80s Nostalgia Fad from a few years ago)

@@Ilikecatsismychannelname Back when I was a Christian, I went to a church run by a pastor who each week repeated all his sermons from dated 80s through 2000s "articles" about how Harry Potter, Heavy Metal music, Pokémon, Magic The Gathering, and D&D are all Satanic xD

[@Ilikecatsismychannelname]

@@NeurospicyBitch88 Huh. Guess I'm 80% Satanist then. And here I thought I was just borderline agnostic. XD Ah, ignorance. Most of the time you frustrate me, but sometimes...sometimes you make me laugh.

Never gets old

[@Ilikecatsismychannelname]

A true classic... Edit: That moment when you realize it's been almost 20 years since this performance was live. I feel old...😢

[@bdgarrett81]

But still so good!

[@bubusik8671]

Ehhhh such a history ✨

[@seatspud]

Miss this as ending music for Mann Shorts.

It’s been 20 years

[@ActuallyAFungus]

It still bothers me that you can tell they probably have never played a game of D&D in their lives from the sound of the original's lyrics. This will always be the better version of this song because of that last couple verses added on to really sell it.

[@Caseyuptobat]

You really think someone who wasn't bullied in high school for playing nerd shit like 2e AD&D could write this?

[@dragonslayer9671]

Rip mark teich

[@chesterstewartdrawers5149]
